The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton400 Pages
In 17th century Amsterdam, Nella Oortman is to marry merchant Johannes Brandy, who she doesn't know very well. She finds herself part of a strange and unwelcoming household with a distant and unknowable husband. Only when Johannes gifts her with a dollhouse of their home and she starts to collect wondrous miniatures, does Nella start to to unravel the mysteries of the household.
Somewhat interesting, but also confusing. Not as good as other historical novels set in the same period.
